With Bayonetta 2 being announced as a Wii U exclusive, is it possible for them to aquire more exclusive titles for the Wii U? I do not see them getting CoD, GTA, Resident Evil, et all, as exclusives, but weaker developers might be open to allowing it to happen. Here are a few that I think could happen:

Dino Crisis 4
Viewtiful Joe 3
Okami 2
Darksiders 3
Dark Stalkers
A game developed by Vanillaware
Saints Row 4 (considering THQ's finacial woes)*

*= With THQ in financial straits Nintendo could finance the development of the game in exchange for it to be a Wii U exclusive.

I got one for you

Upcoming Zombie Slasher revealed on the same day as the Nintendo Conference.

I still say that Nintendo should offer to publish and pay for Tomonobu Itagaki's Devil's Third since THQ dumped it for financial reasons.

The games Nintendo should acquire are the ones which would piss off anti-Nintendo fanboys because its funny to read the comments they post afterwards like they did with Bayonetta 2.

Shenmue 3.
The internet would explode into flames.

Darkstalkers 3 (Give Nintendo an exclusive hardcore fighting game, that also has character and personality an instant win.)

Viewtiful Joe 3 (completely feels like a Nintendo game and Nintendo experience...its best home is with Nintendo.

Bomberman: The original NES battle mode and a part of Nintendo history that should not be neglected...also the Bomberman franchise could still evolve and still be relevant...plus his inclusion in Smash Brothers would rock.

Classic Mega Man: Yeah Nintendo just needs to buy classic Mega Man outright...and Mega Man Legends while they are at it...find a balance between 8bit retro and modern style...and add some gameplay tweaks and enhancements...and just keep the series going...it is a brilliant series that should not die...and can easily still evolve...just like Bomberman. But his inclusion in Smash Bros would also be welcome.

Finally, I think Jet Grind Radio would be a fantastic game for Nintendo.

Well, if we're going to go into Sega properties, how about a new Panzer Dragoon? I had a lot of fun with it on XBOX, and wouldn't mind seeing a new game.

It's your lucky day!

It's for kinect, though.

Doesn't surprise me, but that's disappointing. I can't bring myself to buy an XBOX + Kinect for one game.

Tamazoid · « **Reply #9 on:** September 17, 2012, 02:15:18 PM »

Well technically it's not a new Panzer Dragoon, more of a spiritual successor made by the director(?) of the Panzer Dragoon series.

Plus it's Kinect, it's going to be hampered by the controls.

Shingu will tell you otherwise.

You know how Nintendo saved Bayonetta from cancellation and obscurity?

They need to save Duke Nukem.

You mean the game that killed Sega? No thanks, the stench of fail is too strong.

TJ Spyke · « **Reply #13 on:** September 17, 2012, 07:27:34 PM »

LOL, Sega was already dying. All Shenmue did was speed it up a few months. The company was deeply in debt and the Dreamcast was flopping only 3 months after releasing in North America.

How about the Boogerman franchise?

And also Earthworm Jim and Clayfighter. All of these franchises are owned by Interplay which is just a hair from becoming bankrupt. Nintendo should buy Interplay and then all of this can be theirs.

How about Virtua Fighter?

KickStarter for Nintendo to acquire the rights to Mega Man...?

Also, I have absolutely no idea who holds the rights (R*?), but I'd pay any amount of money for a Silicon Valley sequel. Nintendo needs to get on that.

I hope Nintendo buys the Megaman franchise just to get it out of the hands of Capcom

Because one cold night, when the Megaman franchise is fast asleep, those hands will be holding a pillow... if you catch my drift.

Conduit 3 for the Wii U.

Take-Two Interactive owns the rights. They developed and published the game (DMA Design, now known as Rockstar North, developed it and Take-Two Interactive published it) and own the trademark.

That one would probably happen, mostly because no one else would want it.

I honestly dont think that Nintendo as a developer would be interested in a FPS, even if it is the Conduit.

Nor do I think HVS has any interest in selling it, as I also think nobody has an interest in buying it

NWR_insanolord · « **Reply #23 on:** September 28, 2012, 07:59:59 PM »

Miyamoto did say he could make a great FPS if he wanted to. I wouldn't mind seeing him put his money where his mouth is.

Considering he was one of the executives behind Metroid Prime, I'd say he already has
